YRV Turbo Brake Discs

Got my Turbo performance discs from Japaneazicarparts yesterday, they look great!!
Also they are the right size 246mm not the wrongly listed 234mm every other supplier sells.
I think they also do 234mm performance discs for the std YRV's too.
The owners called Tim, great guy to deal with.

Regards,
Dave.

Where did you buy your kit from?

Just upgraded my fronts with Japaneazi drilled and grooved front discs, EBC Greenstuff pads and D-Sport braided hoses. Braking is a lot better now.
Just noticed that Japaneazi are also now selling EBC yellowstuff brake pads.

EBC Pads for Turbo Discs

Submitted by yrv130 on Sun, 20/01/2008 - 23:49.

As you now know the discs are different from the normal YRV, so are the pads!

These should fit the bill for reasonable quality pads, ironically they fit the Copen and Suzuki Ignis, they are EBC GREENSTUFF BRAKE PADS part #DP21344

See here: http://www.potn.co.uk/p1185168.htm

What about EBC yellow stuff?

Submitted by jpor on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 19:22.

Interesting that you mention green stuff from EBC. Used EBC discs and greenstuff pads on my old classic scooby a few years back, and wasn't overly impressed. A lot of people don't rate the greenstuff but opt for the yellow stuff or even the red if you use your YRV for track days. Can you get yellow stuff for the YRV?

Yellow Stuff for YRV Turbo

Submitted by yrv130 on Mon, 21/01/2008 - 21:27.

Drawing a blank on Yellow Stuff, anyone else seen them?

EBC Greenstuff appears to be the only available pads for the YRV

Submitted by jpor on Tue, 22/01/2008 - 18:55.

Just been on EBC Direct and they only list Greenstuff pads for the YRV turbo. Had a look around on the net, and it appears greenstuff pads are suitable for cars up-to 200BHP Yellow stuff and red stuff are for the bigger BHP vehicles. Therefore why those pads were rubbish on my old Classic Scooby turbo. It was rated @ 215BHP.

It's not dificult to get 4pot front callipers. A lot of members in YRV Forum in Singapore have bought sets of Willwood. (I boough AP Racing). The hard bit is the rear disks. You will have to wait for pics a while since i'm fitting new rim for the 4pot and they will take a while.

I wait in anticipation of the finished product. Be interesting to see that the new brakes look like.

Submitted by yrv130wbg on Mon, 09/04/2007 - 07:02.

i had look at site ,how are your brakes discs bedding in next time my discs need replacing i might go for the D-sport ones.What pads do you use and have you changed the brake lines.the brakes are the only weakness on the yrv and if use them hard you get alot of funney noises i.e clunking.
last service the dealer put SIRION RALLY 4 pads on the car so far they are bit better but i might the uprate the brake lines to get rid of heat from the fluid

Not fitted them yet, Dealership might be replacing existing ones under warranty??
Will be using EBC pads on them, low metalic compound type are kinder to discs.
Thought all Sirion pads were the same like those of the other YRV's and different to the Turbo???
Not going to change any other parts unless its worn or aged.
Dont want to get into the same habit i did with my GTti!!

After months of trying I fitted REAR disc brakes on my YRV turbo and now I'm fittind 4pot calipers in front. I will probably have to change wheels for that but it's ok.
I'll post pictures s soon as it's done

Foufoutos,

Wouldn't mind seeing pictures of your new brakes. Been looking through youtube as of late and noticed a YRV on there which had a bigger caliper kit on the car.

DaihatsuDave,

Hear what your saying. Feel I have the mod bug for the YRV. Spent a small fortune modding the Scooby. How are the brakes doing now you've changed them? Better braking now I bet.

Jon.

YRV Brakes

Submitted by DaihatsuDave on Mon, 24/12/2007 - 16:45.

Hi jon,

It will be a frustrating bug, think all the mod parts are stored in a lockup somewhere in the far east.
Fitted the discs a few months back and they alot better.
Had to leave out the pad backing shims, the EBC's are a little bit thicker in friction material than std ones.
More material should mean they last longer but maybe its cos they dont? Puzzled
Have a great Xmas!
Dave.

Anyway have a good Chrimbo also.
